The advanced combat carbine course is designed to increase student knowledge and enhance skills by overlapping and building in previous instruction. Students will be introduced to advanced concepts in the fundamental application of advanced shooting techniques on the flat range. The course will consist of technical instruction on technique and form by way of formal lessons that will include practical demonstrations in order to establish training standards. Students will have plenty of opportunity for practice during collective training prior to the testing phase that will include performing on demand under the imposed stress of time constraints as well as peer pressure. This course will culminate with an individual stress course containing many of the learning objectives covered during the course. The Advanced Combat Carbine course will ‘Forge the Warrior Within’

MethodologyDuring this course, students will be introduced to the Redback One Shooting System (RSS).

RSS is a complete training system that provides the end user with a consistent approach to the tactical employment of the M4 Carbine and issued pistol include; carriage, control, handling and operation.

By adopting the principles of RSS, the end user will be able to safely and confidently employ both weapons systems to a high degree of speed, efficiency and accuracy while operating in a tactical environment.

All RSS techniques are simple to learn and replicate under stress. This is an important part of the methodology as many first responders and military personnel do not have the opportunity to conduct routine training in advanced weapons manipulation. With the Redback Training System (RTS) as the deliver vehicle combined with the instructional capability of the RB1 cadre, end users are able to receive and assimilate the information quickly.

Demonstration Performance MethodRB1 cadre will introduce each skill by explaining the purpose of the skill, why it is important to learn and how it can be applied in a combat situation. Students will then receive a demonstration detailing the standard to be achieved. Students will conduct collective and individual practice in each skill allowing them to achieve a proficient standard prior to being tested.

Prerequisites:All participants must have received basic and tactical carbine training from one of the following: RB1, law enforcement academy, military unit or a reputable training company.
